Zoe Bremner died very quickly – that risk is always there; that’s why the court deals seriously with these cases

Sheriff Johanna Johnston

Prosecutor Niall Macdonald said: “The police noted details of 20 people in the house, which included Zoe Bremner.

“There were no signs of drug misuse and the police took possession and disposed of all alcohol.”

Zoe and two others left for another house and agreed to try a new ecstasy tablet known as “capital hardcore”, which they believed to be particularly strong.

Mr Macdonald said Zoe told the others she could get the tablets from Lamont and used someone else’s phone to contact him.

The prosecutor added: “Lamont agreed to sell six tablets to Zoe Bremner for £45 and they arranged to meet. After the call, Zoe informed the others of the arrangement.”

Zoe and two others went to meet Lamont, who told them in a message: “Be rapid.”

One of Zoe’s group stopped to talk to friends, but Zoe and the other person carried on. They found Lamont with two others, and Zoe bought the tablets from him.

Mr Macdonald said Zoe and the two others then went to a flat at Dundasvale Court in Cowcaddens. Zoe took two of the tablets, one girl of 15 took one-and-a-half, and another took two-and-a-half.

About 15 minutes later, one of the other girls said she could feel the effects of the drug. Soon after, Zoe became “unable to walk” and was helped to the bathroom.

Mr Macdonald went on: “Zoe became increasingly agitated and aggressive and subsequently appeared to be taking a fit. They all lifted Zoe into the bedroom and put her on the bed.

“Soon after, the emergency services were contacted and arrived at 12.49am. No vital signs were present and Zoe was pronounced deceased minutes later.”

Experts found a trace of ecstasy inside the bag that had held the drugs, and Lamont’s DNA on the knotted part of the bag.

Lamont, of Knightswood, appeared with co-accused Stephen Selkirk, also 18, of Yoker, Glasgow, who admitted being concerned in supplying ecstasy to four 15-year-old children in Yoker and Drumchapel in April and May last year.

Sheriff Johnston deferred sentence on both men until next month for reports and continued bail, but told them all sentencing options were open. She said: “Each of you has accepted your guilt of a very serious offence.”
